[QUOTE="jared007, post: 532757, member: 6513"] I believe the main issue with accepting that repro company donation was soley because of the pledge level they bought. It was the executive producer level which meant they would have their repro company logo prominently displayed on the back cover. This would of course buy them good promotion of their company and items that we all feel destroys and weakens our hobby. If the donation was accepted, then it would slant towards credence/acceptance from the vintage community through endorsement from this particular book. For me, Kim did the right thing once he was alerted to who the company actually is and what they do. End result being they will not be having that executive level spot anymore. If the people behind that company do love the hobby, and believe in the book then they can of course donate at any other pledge level without getting the publicity that was the basis of the original gripe. They may have already done this now and it would be perfectly fine in my view. It's just a regular civilian pledge to get the book committed. Anyway, I've just checked the kickstarter this afternoon and looks like Kim is home and hosed. The target has been reached - the book will come out. Cheers, Jared. [/QUOTE]
